As of 2017, the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance
continues unabated around the world, leaving devastating health and
economic outcomes in its wake. Those consequences will multiply if
collaborative global action is not taken to address the spread of
resistance. Major drivers of antimicrobial resistance in humans
have been accelerated by inappropriate antimicrobial prescribing in
health care practices; the inappropriate use of antimicrobials in
livestock; and the promulgation of antibiotic resistance genes in
the environment. To explore the issue of antimicrobial resistance,
the Forum of Microbial Threats planned a public workshop.
Participants explored issues of antimicrobial resistance through
the lens of One Health, which is a collaborative approach of
multiple disciplines - working locally, nationally, and globally -
for strengthening systems to counter infectious diseases and
related issues that threaten human, animal, and environmental
health, with an end point of improving global health and achieving
gains in development. They also discussed immediate and short-term
actions and research needs that will have the greatest effect on
reducing antimicrobial resistance, while taking into account the
complexities of bridging different sectors and disciplines to
address this global threat. This publication summarizes the
presentations and discussions from the workshop. Table of Contents
